Server Emulators (Ragnarok Online)

Early Server emulators[edit | edit source]

ROServer (0006.rar) - Predecessor to 0052.lzh (Server Emulator), presumably the same emulator, but not confirmed.
0052.lzh (Server Emulator) - Predecessor to most of the RO emulators posted on EmuServer Of Ragnarok (EOR) BBS
YARE (Server Emulator) - Based also on a mixture of 0052.lzh and Athena itself.
Athena (Server Emulator) - Originally posted on EmuServer of Ragnarok, Japanese. The progenitor of a very large number of emulators.
I-Athena (Server Emulator) - Athena rewrite/improvement project which was included in YARE and which was based off Athena and YARE code.
Weiss (Server Emulator) - Based on 0052 and Athena.
Apurodani (Server Emulator) - Short-lived emulator which was provided on EOR BBS based on code which predates 0052.lzh. Was largely superceded by 0052.lzh and development ceased very shortly thereafter.
ROSE (Server Emulator) - Relatively obscure emulator which as based off the RO protocol but does not appear to be based off 0052.lzh.
